Yea the Chinese buying up all the old farm land in the USA. Somebody selling it just for the all mighty dollar that our government gonna eventually take
Also, it is happening in wisconsin. The family run farm era is almost over. Our house was an 1883 ti1886 built farmgouse. We sold out in 2001, and it is still a fine home! Our barn was similar, too. They creek and sway in the winds. Built to withstand a whole lot of winds many times over. I miss that life. It was hard, but wonderful.
How Awesome This is were I lived with my father in 1974. I recognize this farm. Bowling Brook is near their. I visited people at this farm. So COOL Thank You
That one building is actually a corn crib which would have held ear corn as that was how it was stored 50 years ago. That is why the sides are slats to allow for air flow to help dry the ears of corn. Good explore.
Lol... just saw your comment. I basically just wrote the same thing. We had one on our farm but it was only one bin, no pull through like this one. I've been around both types though. 😂
That's a pretty neat old farm house. It's a shame those old houses are left to rot down. That first build was an old corn crib. And the big barn at the end was a really old dairy barn. It doesn't look to even have pipe lines or a milk house. Interesting. Really neat
What you called the "hen house" was the well house. The concrete pit was used to cooling milk cans, butter, and other perishables. The windmill would have been nearby and pumped water through the pit continuously during the warm months.
I LOVED growing up on a farm. Best thing my folks could done for us kids. City to the country! I miss it now that im older, as a kid, chores were tough to handle living in the midwest years ago when winters really sucked.😊 Im very grateful for growing up there.
The first "barn" you were in was a corn crib. That's where they would put corn to dry out. The first building you called the hen house was the milk house. There was a cement bath along the wall where they would put the milk cans to cool until picked up by the milk company. The heating stove would not have been upstairs. It would have sat in the room right below the hole in the floor and would have had a stove pipe chimney that came up thru the hole in the floor and then bend over to the hole in the chimney wall upstairs heating both the downstairs and upstairs. My guess is it was an elderly couple that died and no one else ever moved in.
We have a farm in Oneida, Wisconsin, which is just outside of Green Bay. Our farm is actually on the Oneida Reservation. Whenever the tribe buys out a farm, an excavator shows up, dump trucks and dump trailers arrive, and the whole damn place is leveled.
Wow! I was hit with a ton of childhood memories from that rainbow pillowcase. I swear all my friends had those rainbow sheets. I remember having my sleeping bag, my Cabbage Patch Kid and my sticker book sitting on my bed waiting to go to a sleepover party
Houses were similar in build at that time. Ours was. We had 100 year old barn renovated about 7 years ago. We had sold crop land. House and 6 acres we sold few years ago as got tired of renting it. Thank you for showing this.
Thank you for posting this time capsule of a beautiful farm. Its sad to see these houses and barns disappear from our landscape in the name of progress. I wonder if there are any family members left who could provide a history of their life, growing up here?
It's quite an amazing find in the right hands. From the pine (which may heart pine), to the planking, doors. casings and fixtures, the entie structure could be a wealth of gratitude because it was preserved so well.
Several have already said the heating stove (coal?) would have been on the first floor. If you notice the chimney connection in that bedroom, it's high up, which means the chimney didn't start in the basement, but was built on a shelf just below the 2nd floor ceiling. (yeah, bricks were a luxury) It was VERY common for the smoke pipe to go through a room just to grab a little more heat on the way. When that place was on oil heat it either had a metal chimney or they added a brick one on the outside of the house. The modern heater is gas and vents with PVC pipe. Kitchen is definitely circa 1960 update. The rest seems fairly original and likely teens to 20s vintage. That ceiling light fixture tells me the house was built around the time they had electricity, so that's why I figure the build date isn't earlier.
Kind of sad to see once was a thriving home and farm be so deserted- what surprised me the most was how many antique looking items were left untouched- and the fact no critters came dashing out when you were looking around! :P
I wish you would've checked the bottom of some of those bottles in that root cellar area there for the dates and some of those were canned peaches I think, or pairs and probably green beans and some of those were the gases had erupted through the lids that were on their sidesand that cool old wooden table with the fold down leaf that you saw when you first went to the far wall would've been nice to comment on. Also, that would be an amazing ref piece to sell at some country store.
That siding is asbestos siding. It came in those long rectangular planks with that slight little wave to it it's fine if you keep it painted you just don't wanna break it up into little pieces and get it into the air.
stoves never went upstairs. Heat rises remember. And NOBODY wants to carry firewood upstairs! It would have been located somewhere on the main floor, either kitchen or livingroom, stove pipe went up thru that bedroom and into the chimney. Looks like they closed the ceiling in the lower level but didn't bother with upstairs. Likely parked a piece of furniture over it to prevent stepping in it. The only heat upstairs would have come off that chimney pipe and up the central staircase. Made for some speedy dressing on winter mornings! At least until they had the furnace put in. They definitely had dairy cattle with those head gates in the biggest barn. Little shed behind the house was not the chicken coop. I'm pretty sure that was the spring or milk house with that concrete "cooler" built right in. Likely had water that trickled thru it to keep the milk cans cold. I was happy to see they had the smarts to take the fridge door off!
Looks like somebody has repaired the foundation of that first barn. It's inn good shape. Would hate to see that one torn down. Now if someone would tear it down and reuse that nice lumber especially those big old beams. You can't replace those once scraped by a dozer and burned or just thrown away
The first one was a chicken coup. The second one was an old corn crib.They also had a horse barn, machine shed, and the last one is where they milked. I’m guessing the slab next to the barn, was the old milk house? Love these videos soo much!
The barn that you sled the door open at the beginning was for grain. You pulled your tractor and wagon in the center and scooped corn still on the cob into the wagon to take out and feed your livestock with mainly during the winter season/months. They are called gain bins with the openings to help dry out the corn.
I lived in a farmhouse on the east coast back in the early 90s. The layout was similar, and I actually had a skeleton key to one of the doors. The upstairs had a bedroom similar to the one with a sloped ceiling and wall paper peeling off. In one bedroom the plaster ceiling was water damaged and eventually partially collapsed, crazy! Drafty and hard to heat during a harsh winter. The windows were French style with individual panes like this house.
A gold mine of reclaimable material (looks like someone scavenged siding off the one barn). The woodwork, the doors, of the house... Those chairs and the furniture... That Leinenkugel bottle is fairly recent. Unfortunately, this place will probably get bulldozed...or burned down to get rid of it. The large corporate farms don't want the buildings because they have to pay property taxes on them.
Can't believe he missed the calendar in the kitchen😂. Could anybody make out the year? You can see the difference a metal roof makes on those barns and out buildings.
Most people would not leave clothing furniture etc. One of the buildings was a tool shed, another one a machine shed. I wish i could buy some of the old items in here.
What's really interesting is the fact it was rather recently occupied yet whoever lived there left the original stuff pretty much as it was. This makes me believe the person or persons who took up residence there in ca. 2012 must have had some connection with the original owners. This is an odd one, that's for sure. Bums would have stripped the place.
It's a dairy barn (with a practically new roof) and the other barn with heavy beams spaced18" apart above was for storing winter hay which can be heavier than you might think.
How do you find these places? I lived in Lockport up until middle of last summer. Now out in Bradley, but we go out that way to my mom’s all the time. I would absolutely love to fly my drones there and get some photos of it before it is completely gone. Awesome video!! Been missing your videos with the winter and all. Are you on IG or Facebook by chance? Would love to follow you.
Google Maps and Historic Aerials are two great resources for finding abandoned places. Thanks for watching! And, yes, I'm on IG so please follow me there too.
Someone may have said it already and I could be wrong. The first little building you went in and said it was a hen house. It could well have been but I noticed a concrete area on the left. It's possible that was where they kept the milk way back in the day. It was put in cans and stored in cold water. We had one on our farm and so I thought maybe
That first building you went to from the house is actually the milk house that's where they started her brother equipment in for milking the milk machines the milk pails milk cans not chicken
Ist small building may have been spring house. 2nd building was a corn crib for whole ears. Farmers dried corn there then the shelter crew would come in and shell to haul away to elevator to sell. The corn cobs could have been for hog bedding or kindling to start wood fire.
15:33 Interesting video. Wondering why you passed by the calendar on the wall that would have revealed to us the last 'year' and possibly month someone likely lived there?
A lot of farmers will notice people going on their property and try to secure the doors first as a way to steer pilfers and trespassers off and when that doesn’t work they burn the house down. Stop trespassing and ask permission.
There was a calendar on the wall in the kitchen just above the table (above the old radio), your camera slightly hit it like 4 times. I think it said 2013?
We had good barns all over Illinois , but people over the years , have gotten to lazy to take care of them , to lazy to mow grass , cut down brush , or paint 🎨 🤔 & keep up any property. They hire their work done nowadays , by ones who can afford it. Was not that way long ago, people done their own work , around their own places , they made their kids work also, not like that anymore !!!!! When folks get older, they should sell, to someone who can fix it back up , before it gets unfixable. Some people let their property go down. This is the shame of US culture nowadays. 😮😮😢 Kevin Phoenix ✝️
Ps look like they dairy farmers be they milk cow part barn and part for work horses it pretty cool house and barns sad think whole lives and pass away no one want to farm it after the two older people where gone just sad

The same thing is happening in Ontario, here, and being sold to developers for condos. $$$!

I don't think America was intended on looking like another California coast to coast.🤔
I agree I live in Dutchess county NY. When I was a kid we had over 400 farms, now we have abot 24
This would be beautiful if restored and such a peaceful looking area. Love the old Barns
And haunted
How Awesome This is were I lived with my father in 1974. I recognize this farm. Bowling Brook is near their. I visited people at this farm. So COOL Thank You
Wow... really you actually lived in this farm house? Did you abandoned it or someone else? Very cool if this was the place you once lived.
I get nothing but good vibes from this old house. I wish she could be saved.
I like 👍 old fashioned home 🏡

Soo heart breaking-We Are Losing Our Lives and Family Farmers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful old home place , I miss those old days
Actually it’s a dump, not beautiful at all.
The old farm houses are beautiful compared to the low quality, cookie cutter homes that are being built today.
@@francoamerican4632I agree with you, I have some down the road from me 🍂🍁🍂🍁
I really like how this man didnt touch everything & was the utmost respectful on this property!
I would love to own that farm and get to live in that house .
The house has asbestos siding. Likely degrading and not so safe.
Ahhh, it always makes me feel sad when you see these abandoned homes, all their things just left there. This was great to see though
Agreed. All the stories that house could tell.
That's a pretty neat old farm house. It's a shame those old houses are left to rot down. That first build was an old corn crib. And the big barn at the end was a really old dairy barn. It doesn't look to even have pipe lines or a milk house. Interesting. Really neat

What you called the "hen house" was the well house. The concrete pit was used to cooling milk cans, butter, and other perishables. The windmill would have been nearby and pumped water through the pit continuously during the warm months.
The Big Barn had a milking parlor in it. That's a nice old barn
That’s why these people had so many children….all the work involved‼️‼️‼️
The hole in the floor of the bedroom had an iron grate over it at one time. It was to let heat from the 1st floor come up to heat that room.
Yup. Lived in 2 different farmhouses in southern MI that had the same thing. Zero heat ductwork upstairs.
The upstairs had firepla es
I LOVED growing up on a farm. Best thing my folks could done for us kids. City to the country! I miss it now that im older, as a kid, chores were tough to handle living in the midwest years ago when winters really sucked.😊

cam just imagine the chickens, horses, farmer and wife and many children playing in the area - bet it was so much fun during those years
back when the world was in better place
The barn wood is worth a fortune where I live

The glass is wavy because it's leaded glass. The tires in the barn were bias supply tires most likely pre-70s.

Yes, and it still has life left in it but will probably be torn down soon.

What a nice farm it was back in the day. It's so sad that once they leave it that's all there is. No one to take over and enjoy it
The flooring in the upstairs bedroom with the hole in it is asbestos again fine if you just leave it alone, or cover it with something
The first barn you entered is not a barn. It's a corn crib.
Whole ears of corn were stored in it for drying on the cob before shelling
Awesome!

Sad, these houses are full of architecture ‼️
This house is similar to the house my fathers parents had. I was born in 1960, and they lived there until my grandad passed in '68.
2:00 that's the old milk house by the looks of it. Looks to be the old can cooler where that concrete basin is. 3:00 is the corn crib.
It's a dairy barn (with a practically new roof) and the other barn with heavy beams spaced18" apart above was for storing winter hay which can be heavier than you might think.

A lot of farmers will notice people going on their property and try to secure the doors first as a way to steer pilfers and trespassers off and when that doesn’t work they burn the house down. Stop trespassing and ask permission.
Permission was granted...thanks for watching!

@@Kellz58 yes it is
I doubt this farm is from the 1800's. The building materials are all 20th century. It is an interesting property, just not that old.
The house is a Greek Revival...probably from the 1850s, but yes the outbuildings were likely all early 1900's.

Classic Greek revival. So sad to see it in such bad shape.

Are they still using the barn???
Sad there not to save and remove the old farmhouse
You dont see light fixtures like that any more and that hole in the floor was no doubt a floor grate to let heat up there.
Well, the clock is the right time twice a day

We had good barns all over Illinois , but people over the years , have gotten to lazy to take care
of them , to lazy to mow grass , cut down brush ,
or paint 🎨 🤔 & keep up any property. They hire their work done nowadays , by ones who can afford it. Was not that way long ago, people done their own work , around their own places , they made their kids work also, not like that anymore !!!!!
When folks get older, they
should sell, to someone who can fix it back up , before it gets unfixable.
Some people let their property go down.
